NASA Lunar Landing Research Vehicle

A NASA Lunar Landing Research Vehicle like this one will also be transferred to the Air Force Flight Test Museum in the near future. The LLRVs were created by a predecessor of NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center here at Edwards to study and analyze piloting techniques needed to fly and land the tiny Apollo Lunar Module in the moon's airless environment. Success of the LLRVs led to the building of three Lunar Landing Training Vehicles used by Apollo astronauts at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, predecessor of NASA's Johnson Space Center.
